Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to measurement systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for determining the weight and balance of an aircraft.
  • Ground vibration testing of an aircraft is performed to determine the vibration characteristics of the aircraft and to confirm that the aircraft is free from flutter under normal operating conditions.
  • electro-dynamic shakers may be coupled to the aircraft to provide excitation input (e.g., vibration) to the aircraft.
  • the dynamic response of the aircraft to the excitation input may be measured using sensors (e.g., accelerometers) mounted at various locations on the aircraft.
  • the dynamic response may be compared to a structural dynamic analysis of the aircraft for determining the frequency and damping characteristics of the aircraft. The results of the comparison may be used to validate and/or refine the structural dynamic analysis model.
  • the weight of the aircraft Prior to placing the aircraft in service, it is also necessary to determine the weight of the aircraft for certification of the aircraft. In addition, it is necessary to determine the location of the center of gravity of the aircraft for certification purposes. The determination of the weight and balance (i.e., the location of the center of gravity) of the aircraft is also necessary to determine the operating characteristics of the aircraft including, but not limited to, fuel consumption, rate of climb, and the controllability characteristics of the aircraft.
  • the weight and balance of an aircraft is determined prior to performing the ground vibration testing.
  • the weight and balance is determined by rolling the aircraft landing gear up ramped surfaces and onto scales, recording a weight readout at each landing gear, and then rolling the aircraft off the scales and back down the ramped surfaces.
  • the process of rolling an aircraft onto and off of scales and recording the weight at each scale is time-consuming.
  • the process of rolling a large commercial aircraft up the ramped surfaces onto a set of scales, recording the weight measurement at each scale, and then rolling the aircraft back off the scales and down the ramped surfaced can take up to 12 hours or longer.
  • the process of rolling the aircraft up and down the ramped surface poses a level of risk of damage to the aircraft.
  • the lengthy amount of time required to perform a conventional weight and balance analysis of an aircraft adds to the production time because the production of a commercial aircraft is typically not considered to be complete until the weight and balance have been performed.
  • the present disclosure provides an apparatus for lifting an aircraft using a plurality of lifting mechanisms mounted on a supporting surface.
  • Each lifting mechanism may be configured to impart an upward force on a component of the aircraft for lifting the aircraft.
  • the apparatus may include a beam structure configured to be mounted to the lifting mechanisms.
  • the apparatus may also include a lifting beam suspended from the beam structure.
  • a measurement device may be mounted to the lifting beam and may be configured to engage a jack point associated with the component to determine a weight of the aircraft when the aircraft is lifted off the supporting surface.
  • an apparatus for supporting an aircraft for ground vibration testing may include a plurality of pressure canisters supported on a supporting surface.
  • the apparatus may also include a pair of hanger beams. Each hanger beam may extend between a pair of the pressure canisters.
  • a hanger rod may extend downwardly from each one of the hanger beams.
  • the apparatus may also include a lifting beam having opposing ends coupled to a pair of the hanger rods.
  • a compression load cell may be mounted to the lifting beam and may be interposed between the lifting beam and a jack point of the landing gear. The load cell may be configured to provide an indication of a weight of the aircraft when the aircraft is lifted off the supporting surface.
  • the method may include the steps of engaging the aircraft with a plurality of measurement devices. Each one of the measurement devices may be coupled to at least one lifting mechanism engaged to a jack point of the aircraft. The method may further include lifting the aircraft off of a supporting surface using the lifting mechanisms and determining a weight of the aircraft based on outputs of the measurement devices. The method may additionally include performing a ground vibration testing of the aircraft.
